Looking for ways to keep my old one running as long as possible. it's that roboroc xiaomi platform and it has been supper easy to get spare parts. I replaced entire wheel sections batteries and such.

There is a software that replaces the Xiaomi app and that would be the next project.

No need to phone home to china all the time.

    I think this one

    https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots/

    Needs a custom firmware installed. But then I am free to use it even if the official app no longer exists.

    Can confirm it works and is great. I'm even running a Glados voice pack on it that insults me while it cleans.

    Only issue I've had the whole time was actually this week when I finally updated the valetudo re version to support the new home assistant MQTT format and the update got stuck but that was an easy fix once I worked out what it was.
